They send you a box every month filled with 8-10 special Japanese snack to try!
Japanese people always have the most strange and various flavours you definitely have to taste at least once in your life.

03 Doraemon Ramune Squash Soda Bubble Gum. These gums are regular ones with the famous Doraemon cat. They taste like soda. Sweet and pleasant to chew, the flavour stays a bit longer than the other gums found in this box.

04 Coris Soft Centered Grape Gum. Again grape flavour. There are 3 big gums with a soft core of liquid grape. One of them is surprisingly sour - VERY! - I guess it's like a "trick" that you have to find out randomly in the packet. The taste of all 3 is prominent, the normal 2 are good, but the overall flavour finishes pretty early when you chew.

05 Kabaya Mixed Fruit Bottle Candy. A bottle filled with small hard balls of fruity candy, 3 flavours: purple for grape, green for green apple and orange for orange flavor. They have a strong, pleasant taste. My favorite is the orange one.

06 Kracie Dodotto Octopus Eggs DIY Kit. This do-it-yourself package lets you do cute soda-flavored candies, which you can spice up with a sprinkle of fizzy candy pulver on top.

07 Kanros Pure Mini Gummies. Mini pink balls of grape flavored gums with a cute monkey on the package. These ones have a taste that ends up pretty quickly in your mouth! But sweet and nice.

08 Calbee Vegetable Snacks. These are really good! They're like corn crunchy salty chips, heart shaped. They have a nice taste, very light and with a vegetable taste, like potato, spinach and carrot.

09 Lotte Pokemon Ramune Candy. These candy are pure sugar that dissolves in your mouth. They're pineapple flavored and with a cute Pikachu on the package!

Today's post is aboutTokyo Treat, an amazing Japanese snacks subscription box.
Starting from $14.99/month + FREE shipping worldwide.
I received their premium box containing 16 products and I would like to share with you my impressions.
I can start by saying I'm very happy they included a leaflet with pictures of the products and a description in english, so you can understand what they are, because the packets are all in Japanese language.

The first five products are in the small box, the next row of 5 is in addition to the first 5 in the regular box and the third ones are in the premium box plus the content of the small and regular boxes.

01. Sato Petite Pack of Meiji Bamboo Shoots. It is a small packet as you can see and it contains small but very tasty little triangular biscuits, shaped like bamboo shoots or pinecones, coated with chocolate. I really liked these! I ate them all in a row.

02. Doraemon's Cup Chocolate. I really love this! They are crispy puff corn coated with chocolate. Very crunchy and tasty, you want to eat them all in once.

03. Glico's Pretz Mild Salad. They come in sticks, not coated with chocolate like the well known ones. They are salty sticks which are supposed to taste like salad, but in my opinion the taste is like Parma ham, a bit odd, but not bad. You will get used to the strange taste after eating some of them.

04. Meiji's Curry Curls. I like these corn puffy crisps! They are very tasty, curry flavoured. The curry taste is strong so after some of them I had to stop eating, but after few hours I had more! Delish.

05. Umai-Bou 3 set. I like these a lot! They taste different: 2 of them are salty and one is sweeter. They are crunchy cylindrical puffed corn snacks. The bluish-white packaged on the left tastes like sweet cheese, the purple packaged is BBQ slightly spicy and the red on the right is pizza flavoured. Loooove these!!

06. Kracie's Fun Ramen Shop - RARE. This is a Popin'Cookin', a DIY edible snack. The instructions are in Japanese but the pictures explain clearly how to make it. It is a bit of a mess to mix all the powders and the result was cute, but everything tastes too sweet. I didn't like this particularly. The sauce is like pure sugar, the fake noodles taste like lemon and the white paste is a chewy candy which tastes like Red Bull energy drink or Bubble-Gum.

07. 12 Grains LOOK (Harvest la mode fruitful). Nice chocolates with different fillings: "Kyushu Sweet Potato", "Chestnut", "Hokkaido Pumpkin" and "Shinshu Grapes". I personally recognised only the taste of grapes but in my opinion the other flavour were unrecognisable, although nice. I like that their chocolate tastes always like good chocolate!

08. Yaokin Rice Cracker. I usually like rice crackers, but this one tastes like plain wafer. It is just crunchy with no particular flavour. It came all broken into pieces and with a BBQ sauce to sprinkle on them, but I prefer them without sauce.

09. Gummy Maru Takeshi Grilled Egg. These are odd candies... they're supposed to taste like Tamagoyaki Egg Omelette but they're sweeter like candies. I'm not sure whether I like them or not. I really love tamagoyaki usually, but candies like eggs... I don't know if they work!

10. Traditional set: _Kyooya Cherry Rice Cake. These are candies with a mild flavour of cherry. The name of them "rice cake" was a misunderstanding cos these are just chewy candies. Very nice. I like them._Top Rider Drive Gum. This is a chewing-gum, very nice flavour, like Red Bull energy drink or similar to the Bubble-Gum. The flavour doesn't last long.

11. Meiji's Mushroom Mountain DIY Snacks - SPECIAL. Another DIY with nice plain biscuits and chocolates to warm up and squeeze into the moulds. This was kind of a fail for me, because the chocolate kept on hardening very fast, so I hadn't the time to properly put them in the plastic container to shape them cos they were already harder. So in the end they didn't came out shaped perfectly as mushrooms but the biscuit came out alone so I had to scrape the leftover chocolate. Maybe I should have used an even warmer water! The chocolate flavourings change with the colour: brown was normal chocolate (nice but nothing special), pink was strawberry flavoured (really good!), and white was like vanilla (I didn't like this one at all).

12. Chilled Candy (Ginger and Honey). It's a very sweet drink with the taste of ginger. I liked it a lot! It is not bubbly and not even spicy. I really loved this ginger taste with honey, it should be good for the sore throat and even for a better digestion. The package is very strong and resistant, not like the normal tin cans.

13. Glico's Capri Cocotte Strawberry and Vanilla. Nice double coated airy heart-shaped chocolates. The bottom is milk chocolate and the top is either vanilla and strawberry. I love more the strawberry ones! The white ones are more of a mild flavour, like white chocolate and just a little bit of vanilla. Great quality of the chocolate!

15. East Pigeon Pokemon Milk Snack. These are small snacks made of a corn puffy base and coated in a sweet flavour, like sweet cheese probably or sticky honey. Maybe they're supposed to taste like milk but I can't describe the taste. Anyway they taste nice, and the Pikachu is really cute!

These were all the products in the box.
Overall I've enjoyed it very much, apart from just a few which I didn't particularly liked.
It is always nice, though, to try different things which you cannot find elsewere, only in Japan!
Because Japanese people like strange and unusual tastes! So you have to try their snacks!

Disclaimer: the items have been sent to me for free from the brand but the
opinions I share are 100% my own.

I've had a chance to try some yummy treats from Japan and I would like to share my opinions with you!Japan Candy Boxis a subscription box. Thanks to them you can try new Japanese sweets directly in your inbox every month.
I think it's really worth it! Starting from $18.20/month.
Here's my October box content:

01 Kracie Popin' Cookin' DIY Takoyaki Set. Unfortunately I don't have microwave.
But I tried to do it on the pan with a lid on top... disaster! The tray is NOT heat proof... The bottom of the tray melted on the pan... So since it was still gooey I took the balls out and put them on a proper oven tray and I put it in the oven with grill function at 250 degrees and waited some minutes... then the cookies were sort of dried so I took it out. I mixed up the sauces and put them on top...on a different plate cos the plastic tray was unusable. I hope there won't be any plastic residues and that this won't hurt me... The taste is like Takoyaki. If you've never had Takoyaki it tastes like a cakey fishy thing with a little bit of oniony, maybe, flavour?!. The brown sauce tastes like barbecue sauce but a bit sweet so it is all balanced up. Overall it is nice but I'm not sure if I think it is a bit faked up (the taste I mean) or it is just in my mind because I know for sure this was all powdered? I don't know... but maybe this is one of the two things I don't particularly like about the box and that I won't try again, even if I like the real Takoyaki! Especially because of the cooking method... that you require a microwave to properly cook it, otherwise you can't make it.

02 Bourbon Petit White Chocolate Stuffed Cookies. They are nice! With bourbon the liqueur. They are small biscuits that come in a transparent box. These taste more like buttery shortbread crunchy cookies and inside there is a milky cream.

03 Lotte Koala March Biscuits. Very tasty small biscuits with a printed Koala on top. They are crunchy and they hide a strawberry cream inside. They are not too overpowering and not too sweet.

04 Coris Strawberry Whistle Candy. It is a crunchy candy which breaks instantly in your mouth and dissolves also pretty quickly. It seems made of powdered sugar with a light strawberry taste. I believe it is called whistle candy cos you can blow into the center hole and it whistles a little bit. In the package there is also a small animal toy for kids!

05 Puccho Awawawa Ball Candy. They are strange carbonated lemon powdered hard candy balls on the outside with the taste of grape. Once you put it in your mouth is starts to fizz and when you break it with your teeth you notice there is a softer inside which tastes like lemon and sticks on your teeth for a bit. At first it seems almost like a gum, but eventually it dissolves.

06 Puccho Mango Chewy Candy. It is a package of cubed candies, that taste nicely of mango. They are sticky chewy candies, like the toffy ones, but they leave a pleasant fruity taste.

07 Meiji Juice Gummies. Their consistency is like the Haribo gummy bears. They are sweet and shaped and flavoured like grapes. They dissolve in the mouth more quickly than the chewy candies. I like it.

08 Takeda Tamago Boro Egg Cookies. Eggs don't taste properly like eggs, they are little crunchy pralines made of an eggy biscuit, more like breakfast Digestive biscuits or shortbreads, but less sweetened. I think they would be perfect to be thrown on a cup of hot milk. This is the second thing I like less from the box.

09 Meiji Mini Candy Pack. They seem like chewingums or like mints but they are little candies and taste like frozen yogurt! I actually like them very much. They finish very quickly though: they just break into tiny little pieces and disappear in your mouth.

10 Pocky Panda Cookie Sticks, the best of all, tastes very good. The biscuit flavour is chocolate, coated by a layer of milky-yogurt cream. Tastes like Oreos or italian Ringos. They are similar to the Mikado sticks. Unfortunately the sticks were broken inside the package and all sticked together.
